Stochastic volatility models (SVMs) represent an important framework for the analysis of financial time series data, together with ARCH-type models;but unlike the latter, the former, at least from the statistical point of view, cannot rely on the possibility of obtaining exact inference, in particular with regard to maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters of interest. For SVMs, usually only approximate results can be obtained, unless particularly sophisticated estimation strategies like exact non-gaussian filtering methods or simulation techniques are employed. In this paper we review SVM and present a new characterization for them, called 'generalized bilinear stochastic volatility'.

This paper examines the problem of system identification from frequency response data. Recent approaches to this problem, known collectively as 'estimation in H-infinity', involve deterministic descriptions of noise corruptions to the data. In order to provide 'worst-case' convergence with respect to these deterministic noise descriptions, non-linear data algorithms are required. In contrast, this paper examines 'worst-case' estimation in H-infinity when the disturbances are subject to mild stochastic assumptions and linearity in the data algorithms is employed. Issues of convergence, error bounds, and model order selection are considered. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Two autopilots for ship track-keeping along a given trajectory are presented, namely a linear quadratic output feedback controller and a robust cascade controller. In both of them, the rudder is used as the only control actuator. The paper presents the mathematical foundation of the problem, the filtering techniques applied in its solution, and selected results of the simulations carried out on a physical ship model on the Silm Lake.

The Statistical Signal and Array Processing Technical Committee(SSAP-TC) deals with signals that are random and processes an array ofsignals simultaneously. The field of SSAP represents both solid theoryand practical applications. Starting with research in spectrumestimation and statistical modeling, study in this field is always fullof elegant mathematical tools such as statistical analysis and matrixtheory. The area of statistical signal processing expands intoestimation and detection algorithms, time-frequency domain analysis,system identification, and channel modeling and equalization. The areaof array signal processing also extends into multichannel filtering,source localization and separation, and so on. This article representsan endeavor by the members of the SSAT-TC to review all the significantdevelopments in the field of SSAP. To provide readers with pointers forfurther study of the field, this article includes a very impressivebibliography-close to 500 references are cited. This is just one of theindications that the field of statistical signals has been an extremelyactive one in the signal processing community. The article alsointroduces the recent reorganization of three technical committees ofthe Signal Processing Society

A method is presented to combine multiple model estimation with a neural network to obtain more accurate estimates. The key idea is to use the data from the initial phase of the run for system identification, and then run a single estimator designed for the identified model for the remainder of the run. The use of multiple models and neural networks allows the on-line identification to take place extremely quickly. The method is validated on actual data from an important estimation problem in microelectronics manufacturing which is subject to model uncertainties: determining end-point to an etch step using reflectometry data.

This paper presents an attempt to introduce an estimation algorithm that can lead to estimates of coefficients of a parametric model, close to the values detennined by the Least Sum of Absolute errors of the model output. Examples of LSA-estimation application presented here show specific and interesting features. This estimation is quite insensitive to instantaneous, even very powerful and non-symmetric disturbances. A theorem for the derivation the LSA-estimation algorithm, as a special modification of the weighted Least Sum of Square estimation is presented. Application of the LSA-algorithm and a comparison with LSS-estimation results is presented on examples of static and dynamic models of linear plants.

The bootstrap filter is an algorithm for implementing recursive Bayesian estimation in which the state probability density functions are approximated and evolved by updating and predicting a set of samples. An extension to this algorithm for application to the multiple model target tracking problem is presented as an alternative to the Interacting Multiple Model(IMM) algorithm. The Markovian transition probability matrix is used to approximate the model branching of the optimal solution to this problem. Simulation results from a standard manoeuvring target application suggest improved performance during non-manoeuvre periods and comparable performance during manoeuvres. Although these results are for a linear, Gaussian system the proposed method is more generally applicable.

A method is described to estimate velocity from discrete and quantized position samples via adaptive windowing. It addresses the shortcomings of previously known methods which necessitate tradeoffs between noise reduction, control delay, estimate accuracy, reliability, computational load, transient preservation, and which cause difficulties with tuning. The method is optimal in the sense that it minimizes the velocity error variance while maximizes the accuracy of the estimates. The design of the estimator requires the selection of only one parameter, namely a bound on the noise. Simulation and experimental results are presented.
